Ghost Mountain: part one

When 71-year-old British tourist Lorna McSorley stepped out for a walk near South Africa's Ghost Mountain, she expected a pleasant hike to spot local wildlife. She never returned.


In the first episode of this three-part investigative series, we travel to the remote, superstitious heart of Eastern South Africa to retrace Lorna’s final steps. As official searches hit a dead end, bizarre rumours about what happened to her begin to emerge.
